I'll be working as usual because some nutters are willing to pay 89 quid per head for a bloody roast !
Hope you get some good tips!
Yeah. Covid and colds around this year. Missed me so far but the wife has a bad cold. Or is it covid? Past caring now tbh.
Lay in until 9.30 tomorrow. Pick up a relative for dinner at 1pm that's 30 mins away and drop off back home later in the evening, so no drinking for me. Stuff face way too much around 3pm Watch kings first speech at 3pm on tv.
Best meal will be boxing day. Cold turkey, chips peas and onion rings. Fresh bread and butter. Look forward to that every year. Christmas changes as you get older. Quieter. No hangover. Sitting down as much as possible.
Christmas is not a life test. You won't get scored. No need to get stressed or overwhelmed. It's just another day best spent relaxing and taking in your stride. Prepare veg ect today ready for tomorrow if you can.
I will say the worst time I had at Christmas was 3 years ago setting up a playstation. Nightmare. Took 3+ hours of misery with everyone looking at me to sort out. Not touched it since. Had I of known I'd of researched before or bought a bike instead.ha
"Pick up a relative for dinner"
Heck that's different, we're having Turkey.
I'll probably spend Christmas day bobbing up and down in the water... It's been my dream ever since I was a little buoy..

Second. Sick of hearing about Christmas this year. Everyone goes bonkers each year, I just don’t get it
I hate Xmas with a passion. Too much chew on, expensive and usually poor weather. Can't wait for for the entire hoo har to be over and done with.

Happy Christmas to all on HUKD (edited)
clearly not had enough at this stage if you can still see the handle to lift!
Up stupid early, enjoying the peace with the cats. Kids here for midday so they'll be wide awake and probably full of sugar. Open some presents and have lunch.
I always buy a new board game from amazon for Xmas day so we're not all sat on various tech not talking. Few beers maybe and loads of sweets for the kids, making sure they're happy makes me happy. Hopefully a snooze at some point too
Same as every other day , except I may have a glass of wine or two LOL
Watch tv and eat what ever you want, take the dog for the stroll. just me this year till the evening when mum comes home from work (edited)
Christmas Day is pretty much the same as any other day for us. Christmas cards continuously falling over. No tree or decorations. As usual we are having a couple of dozen friends over for Christmas Eve dinner today. We don’t need all the sentimental garbage to celebrate Christmas. We don’t follow the consumerism sheep.
I spend most of the day going Bah humbug! I'm finding it gets harder each year. It's a mixed day of emotions, for the past several years I've had several deaths around the festive period to deal with. This year is no different. Lost my step grandmother and great uncle last week and whilst I didn't personally have much to do with them, I've got to deal with my mum who did. My step dad died 2 years ago, my grandmother died 10 years ago so it's difficult to deal with. Also my daughter has just had COVID again, there's also a cold going around which I've had and didn't want to spread etc. now my wife and other daughter has got the cold. Still I'll smile and pretend I'm ok. I think the only thing I enjoy about Christmas is seeing my kids open their presents and spending that special time with my family. (edited)
Just another manic Monday.
We've had ours. Son came home on Thurs and we've been having fun since. We had lunch at Mariners in Rock on Friday which was fabulous and then walked along the beach. It was windy and not many out other than dog walkers. Loads of holidaymakers down though as the pub was heaving.
Just the two of us tomorrow but the full turkey and trimmings. We will start the day with a walk around the village and then get things started with a glass of Camel Valley sparkling. As he prepares lunch I shall have a mooch around the internet looking at the sales. Not that we need anything (HUKD severed that connection years ago!)
Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating, wishing you all a very happy and relaxing time.
Different this year, saving Xmas dinner for Boxing Day so someone isn’t in the kitchen for hours away from the kids playing with their presents.
The trick is to prep everything Xmas eve then you don't have that issue.
Up whenever daughter wakes. Stocking unwrap. Breakfast at mums. Home to presents and cook, eat, relax
Morning walk with the dog, then wait on the teenage boy finally get out his bed to open his presents, chill in front of the TV and then order an Indian takeaway for dinner and back to watching the tv in between taking the dog out…keeping it simple this year!
TV, food, sleep, no particular order
Monday.
Working I've done it almost every Christmas for over 20 years
